The Monday problem
Half of Chianti closes on Monday. This is the day that still works — built entirely from places we've checked are open.
- 10:00Castello di VolpaiaVolpaia, Radda
Volpaia is open when Radda's shops aren't. The whole hamlet is the cellar — wander it first.
- 12:30
- 14:30Castello d'AlbolaRadda in Chianti
Open seven days. Big estate, gardens, and cellars that stay cool when the valley bakes.
- 16:30Ceramiche RampiniRadda in Chianti
The ceramics workshop keeps Monday hours — the shops in the villages mostly don't.
- 19:00Bar Dante AlighieriRadda in Chianti
Radda's bar is shut Tuesdays, not Mondays. Aperitivo on the terrace and the day is saved.
This is the fixed version. The planner builds one round what you actually want, and checks what's open on the day you're here.
